Board OKs Class 6b incentive for 953 Sutton Court; adopts zoning fixes and a special‑use for a tumbling gym
Summary
Trustees approved a Class 6b real‑estate assessment request for 953 Sutton Court (applicant to make ~$200,000 in improvements and village retains approval of future tenant), unanimously amended zoning text to align contractor/business uses across industrial districts, and approved a conditional special‑use for a cheer/tumbling facility at 636 Wheeling Road.
The Village of Wheeling approved multiple land‑use and development items on Nov. 17.
A resolution consenting to a Cook County Class 6b real‑estate assessment and approving a related incentive agreement for 953 Sutton Court passed after staff explained the property is a roughly 20,000‑square‑foot building with no tenant currently on site. The applicant (SCG Real Estate) proposes approximately $200,000 in improvements; the proposed agreement gives the village first right to approve a future tenant and specifically prohibits cannabis businesses and truck terminals. Trustees confirmed the incentive will not be sent to the county until a tenant is secured, and the resolution passed by roll call.
The board unanimously approved a zoning text amendment (Docket PTA25‑0002) requested by a local business to align contractor/business uses across industrial zoning districts (I‑1, I‑2, I‑3), plus cleanup of definitions and parking regulations. Staff said the change follows standard zoning progression and will simplify the process for businesses already permitted in lower‑intensity industrial districts.
Separately, trustees approved a special‑use ordinance (Docket PSU25DS0022) for an indoor cheer/tumbling instructional facility at 636 Wheeling Road. The Plan Commission recommended approval with four conditions: at least one employee on site during hours of operation; exclusive use for cheer and tumbling classes (no unrelated events); all activities confined indoors; and a Wheeling sign permit required before installing exterior signage.
Votes at a glance: consent agenda (multiple routine contracts and purchases) — approved unanimously; Class 6b for 953 Sutton Court — approved by roll call; zoning text amendment — approved unanimously; special‑use for 636 Wheeling Road — approved unanimously.
What’s next: Community development staff will process tenant approvals under the incentive agreement and proceed with community‑development review for tenant fit‑up; sign permits and community‑development permits will be required for the special‑use facility.
